The 1944 movie is a World-War-II film whereas the others are film-noir flicks. [Incidentally, Bacall played opposite Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe in How to marry a millionaire (1953). The film has an in-joke: the Bacall character says: “I’ve always liked older men. Look at Roosevelt, look at Churchill, look at that old fella what’s his name in The African Queen. Absolutely crazy about him.” Bacall is referring to her real-life husband, Humphrey Bogart.]
The box set “Bogie & Bacall: The signature collection” (DVD 7/06) collects the four Bogart-Bacall movies in a convenient slip case to house appropriately four plastic keep cases but awkwardly four cardboard snap cases. The four films in the box set come in plastic keep cases and are
also available separately. The previous releases were in cardboard snap cases but are still available. The exteriors of the respective snap and keep cases are virtually identical, those of The big sleep DVD varying the most, but only for the “special features” note. The earlier snap cases each have inside a chapter index and additional photo. The newer keep cases lack scene indices. I compared the four DVDs in the snap-case editions with the four DVDs in the keep-case editions. The DVDs for each movie are identical. It is important to note that the DVD for The big sleep is two-sided:
Side A (114 min) = 1946 theatrical-release version
Side B (116 min) = 1944 pre-release version with 18 minutes that were either reshot or deleted from the theatrical release
Side B of the keep-case DVD is not clearly labeled as such.
Warner was remiss in not issuing with the box set a brief booklet on Bogart and Bacall.
In conclusion, if you have the four snap-case editions, they are not outdated, and with reasonable care the cardboard snap cases wear well. However, if you are a Bogart collector lusting for the nice slip case for the quartet of films, get the box set with the plastic keep-case editions and give your snap-case editions to a friend or relative.
This long overdue collection of the four films Bogie and Betty made together is an absolute must have for fans of both Forties flicks and of course the greatest romantic screen-team in Hollywood history. Starting with ‘To Have and Have Not’, which was Lauren Bacall’s debut film, as has been said many times before one can literally watch the pair fall in love on-screen a la Garbo and Gilbert in ‘Flesh and the Devil’. The story is pure Hemingway with wonderful support from Walter Brennan and Hoagy Carmichael among others.
Next came ‘The Big Sleep’, a wonderful (if not baffling!) film noir adapted from the popular novel by Raymond Chandler. Betty never looked more glamourous and sexy than she does in this one.
Their third film togather was the highly underrated ‘Dark Passage’, another noir gem expertly directed by the equally underrated Delmer Daves with superb support from Agnes Moorehead and Bruce Bennet. Bogie plays a framed innocent man just escaped from San Quentin who is aided and abetted by Bacall after winning her trust.
The fourth and unfortunately last film with the pair is ‘Key Largo’, more in the vein of ‘To Have and Have Not’ than the previous two. The best supporting cast of all four films includes Claire Trevor (who won Best Supporting Actress), Lionel Barrymore and Edward G. Robinson in one of his last tough-guy gangster roles. In her book, Bacall describes the experience of making this film as one of the happiest memories of her career with daily afternoon tea served in her dressing room!
The price of this set considering the high-quality of the prints and the marvellous and relevant extras included by Warner’s makes this set excellent value for money. Don’t think twice, get it!
